Hi Amber. I think the Bookshare developers have been tweaking the adult
content system recently. It wasn't working at all when the new site
launched. They may need feedback that their tweaks have gone wonky. Would
you please write to the volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx address to tell them what's
going on and request that they make it possible for submitters and
proofreaders to adjust the adult content filter when necessary? The staff
needs that type of wording to pass on to the engineering staff and needs to
know that it's making volunteering more difficult. I hope they can get this
fixed pretty easily soon.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] overly sensative adult content ratings?

 

I have submitted four books in the last few days, all of which received an
adult rating by the automatic adult thingy.  None of these books are adult
in the least. Furthermore, when I do get an adult rating, it's because books
have three or fewer adult words.  What gives?  And why can submitters not
change  that setting?
